Photos of Cromford, Derbyshire, EnglandCromford is an historic village set in
the Derwent valley, with a picturesque 15th century bridge. This is one
of the most important industrial sites in England. It was here in 1771
that Richard Arkwright in partnership with Jedediah Strutt, established
the first mechanised textile factory in the world. The old High Peak Railway
which formerly joined the Cromford Canal to Whaley Bridge is now the High
Peak Trail.
The Cromford canal is currently being restored to its former glory.

see the wonderful views of Wirksworth etc.
